Caesium-137 and caesium-134 levels in soil in a tea plantation in Turkey after the Chernobyl accident
Description
Gamma-ray scintillation spectrometry has been used to measure the 137Cs and 134Cs levels and depth distributions in soil of a tea plantation in the Eastern Black Sea region in Turkey. Soil samples were collected in November 1987. The depth distribution was found to be exponential with α = 0.16 cm-1 and the exposure rate arising therefrom is calculated as 17.46 μR/h over the ground surface. (author)
